How To...

Build A Campfire

1. Grab all of your campfire kit items - the lighter, the firestarter, kindling (small wood pieces), and dry firewood.

2. These are firestarters, we've given you a few. You'll need one to start a fire - grab one and set aside for a moment. (Don't worry - if you need more later, we have them available for purchase).

3. Build a log cabin with 4 pieces of dry firewood. Stuff the log cabin with shredded paper bag and kindling (small wood pieces). Make sure you don't "overstuff" the log cabin, oxygen and air flow are essential for a fire.

4. Grab your firestarter cup and place it in the center of your log cabin with the shredded paper bag and kindling. Light your firestarter cup.

5. Make sure the firestarter cup continues to burn. It should then ignite the shredded paper bag, then the kindling, and then the firewood. Once your fire is burning and strong, add another piece of dry firewood. Again, don't overload your fire - fire needs oxygen and air flow!

Charcoal Grill

1. Grab the charcoal chimney + firestarter near your grill kit or in your accommodation.

2. Pile up charcoal to the top of the chimney.

3. Place the firestarter on the center of the grill and light the firestarter.

4. Place your chimney of charcoal in the middle of the grill directly on top of the lit firestarter. Watch carefully for the first few minutes to make sure the firestarter doesn't go out. After that it should be pretty obvious that the charcoal has caught fire and is starting to warm up. Cover the top of the grill if it is raining, but remember to give the smoke a way to escape as well.Wait for 15 minutes for all of the charcoal to heat up (give or take a few minutes based on the size of your chimney and how much charcoal you are using). When the charcoal is grey, it's ready to use!

5. Take the chimney up by the handle, open the grate on your grill, and pour the charcoal briquettes very slowly inside the base of the grill (too fast and you create a rush of sparks plus the chance of a spill).Close the charcoal grill, put the lid on and wait for another 10 minutes or so. This allows the heat to build up properly, as if the coals were cooking inside the grill this whole time. When they are ready, adjust the grill as you normally would and start cooking!
